He said: 'The police came to my door and said they had received a call from someone saying there was a gun in the house. 'I was shocked but I have no idea what it's all about. 'I don't know the people who stay there as I think it's an Air BnB and the people change all the time. 'There are a lot of police about and they are going round the doors and seem to be taking it very seriously.' Around half a dozen police motors are in the area with cops also searching inside the home in the quiet street. Another neighbour added: 'The police came about 1pm and made straight for the house that's being searched. 'I thought it looked like a drugs raid or maybe they were making an arrest but nobody seems to be inside the house. 'I don't know who lives there but it's not something you expect to see on your doorstep.' More to follow...
